Anoebis was een van de oudste funeraire godheden. In de 6e dynastie werd zijn cultus geïncorporeerd in de cultus van Osiris. Volgens de mythe was het Anoebis die Osiris balsemde nadat deze door zijn broer Seth was vermoord, waardoor de reeds bestaande associatie met het mummificeringsproces nog versterkt werd. Anoebis werd eveneens beschouwd als de wachter van de necropolis.
